2012 Preview: Hosanna Christian Football

Hosanna Christian Lions(2011 Record: 6-2 – Not eligible for playoffs; played as an Independent)

The inagural year of Hosanna Christian football is in the books and now coach Jim Lockwood and his Lions are seeking to make noise in the postseason – something not available to them as a first-year Independent team in 2011.

Even with a 6-2 opening year record, a 78-22 loss to Crane – the team’s only loss to an Oregon school – sticks out as a barometer of the team’s readiness in 2011. In early preparation, Hosanna Christian is working toward being better against top-tier 1A, eight-man competition in the state including the season opener versus Dufur.
